Benefits of technology

[0002]Some embodiments of the present invention are directed to a hand-operated ice skate sharpening tool that functions to provide a more even and consistent sharpening of the blade edges. In yet other embodiments, the sharpener assembly is configured to be used in conjunction with another tool, such as a vise, or integrated into some other device. The sharpener preferably has a cylindrical sharpening stone that is positioned directly over the blade and an adjustable slot width in the sharpener using thumb screws t

Problems solved by technology

If the sharpener is not orientated in the correct position, the sharpener will file away too much of the skate blade on one corner or the other.
This causes uneven skate blade edges or corners and decreases the skater's control and ability to move on the ice.
Also, since skate blades vary in width between skate

Abstract

A skate blade sharpening tool that has a cylindrical sharpening stone that is positioned directly over the blade and adjusting the slot width in the sharpener using thumb screws to match the blade width. When tightening the thumb screws, the two halves of the tool handle will decrease the slot width onto the blade. This pressure on the blade will force the through shaft and cylindrical stone to be centered over the blade. The sharpening stone will remove metal to match the shape of the stone each time the sharpener is moved back and forth along the blade. The sharpening stone has gears on each end of the stone that match the gears inside the two-piece body. As the tool is moved along the skate blade, the sharpening stone will incrementally rotate within the body when the direction is changed in the reciprocating motion by the user's back and forth movement. The sharpener also has a deburring stone mounted to the black of the handheld sharpener.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Sometimes ice skate blades are touched-up using a handheld sharpening tool that has a stone that is moved back and forth lengthwise along the skate blade within a slot of the sharpener which the skate blade fits in. The handheld sharpener files away material along the blade to make two sharp corners, which are called the inside and outside edges. If the sharpener is not orientated in the correct position, the sharpener will file away too much of the skate blade on one corner or the other. This causes uneven skate blade edges or corners and decreases the skater's control and ability to move on the ice. Also, since skate blades vary in width between skate manufactures, a one size fits all slot for handheld sharpeners would not orientate the stone accurately for all skates. In addition, keeping the stone in a fixed position above the blade causes a buildup of shavings that were filed away from the blade. This buildup causes the sharpener to become less ...
